Whether you are working with formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue or normal tissue samples, the elimination of genomic DNA (gDNA) from your RNA preps is crucial to obtain reliable results in gene expression analysis, especially if you want to determine the gene expression pattern in a specific cell or under specific conditions. Possible consequences of… Read article →
When working hard to complete urgent experiments, it’s easy to overlook the basics, whether you’re an expert or complete beginner. One basic but critical factor to consider for sensitive downstream applications, such as qPCR, is the quality of extracted RNA. Successful extraction of high-quality RNA, especially from some difficult sample types, can be a challenge…. Read article →
